Abstract
A structure for selectively transmitting electromagnetic energy over a selected frequency range during a first operating mode and for substantially preventing the transmission of electromagnetic energy at any frequency during a second operating mode either by absorption or by reflection of such energy. The structure includes at least one shutter means comprising continuous and discontinuous elements and diode means interconnecting the discontinuous portions of the discontinuous element. The diode means are biased in a non-conductive direction during the first operating mode and are biased in a conductive direction during the second operating mode. The structure can further include filter means which include continuous and discontinuous elements arranged so as to be resonant over the selective frequency range during both operating modes. The filter means and the shutter means can be positioned at distances from each other of approximately one or more quarter wave lengths of the center frequency of the selective frequency range.
